- Description
- The National Institutes of Health, Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center research facility of the National Institutes of Health serves the patient care and clinical research needs of the NIH intramural research program. Its mission is to provide patient care services, training, and the environment in which NIH clinician-scientists creatively translate emerging knowledge into better understanding, detection, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. On an annual basis, the Clinical Center admits approximately 7,000 patients and supports over 100,000 outpatient visits. Patients seen at the Clinical Center come from all over the world to participate in research protocols aimed at developing new knowledge of disease processes, new treatments, and expanded comprehension of basic biologic systems. The office of Financial Resources Management (OFRM), CC provides efficient and effective financial management of programs that fully support the CC and the NIH in meeting its goals and objectives. OFRM is responsible for managing all of the CC financial operations to include: developing and monitoring the annual hospital operating budget; identifying Institute cost and volume utilization information; developing impact assessments for new protocols and initiatives; performing financial and workload audit and control functions; defining business requirements for new clinical information systems and supporting modules that document and monitor patient care; and developing presentation and support materials for various NIH and hospital governing bodies. The strategic goal and the continuation of the goal is that the CC/OFRM began the design and development of a hospital Executive Information System (EIS) to allow participating NIH Institutes the ability to quickly access and analyze information across a broad range of hospital functions. The initial phase of the EIS initiative was to develop patient census dashboards for hospital and IC leadership. Each dashboard contains hospital patient statistics including inpatient and outpatient census, admissions, average daily census, etc. This phase of the initiative was achieved in January 2004. Simultaneously a continuation of the development started in the creation of a hospital executive dashboard with key organizational performance indicator which was implemented in April, 2004. The completion of this pilot dashboard primarily focused on maintaining and the current system and dashboards, with some additional evaluation to include clinical service metrics. The next phase of EIS work is slated to begin in February, 2006. This phase will include much-needed enhancements to the existing system architecture and database machines; development and inclusion of new data elements for ad-hoc reporting; further definition and project expansion planning; and training users.
